Vasco da Gama form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie B, Vasco da Gama have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 0 defeats from 4 games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Vasco, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Thiago Rodrigues de Oliveira Nogueira not having conceded a league goal in 354 minutes.

The home team returns to Estádio Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama after drawing with Guarani (placed 18th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. The goalie Rodrigues was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.63 out of ten. Rodrigues topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that match, Vasco won a home game hosting Bahia (1-0).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Vasco da Gama matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats (from 7 games).

Vasco have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Brusque form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Serie B travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. It's all red in the travel logs of Brusque, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

The regulars enjoyed Brusque's previous fixture versus Tombense (placed 20th), a 1-0 win played at home. Álvaro came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Tombense last time out, making the manager Neto feel like a tactical genius. Midfield player Ruan was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.94/10. Ruan dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 28 successful passes (of 30 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Londrina wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Brusque when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 2 times, drawing 2 and winning 0 games.

Brusque are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games.
